Now having described my improvements I claim as my invention.

In a box for explosive engines, the combination with the downwardly inclined top of the box of beveled blocks and angle-irons adapted to form cover guides at an inclination corresponding to the inclination of the top of the box, and a sliding cover workin on said guides, substantially as describe Signed at borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, this 12th day of January, A.
